What led you to becoming a yoga teacher?
"I love this practice and wanted to continue to learn when I entered YTT. To complete my 200-hour YTT, I was required to organize and teach 10 hours of classes. That experience really pushed me outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to the kind feedback from those who willingly joined my first classes, I found a new sense of confidence in teaching. I’m so grateful to the teachers before me who gave me the space to teach in their beautiful studios whenever I had the opportunity."
What is your favorite part about teaching yoga?
"My favorite part of teaching is planning the class. With my background in dance, I see it as choreography. I love building a sequence around a peak pose and creatively guiding students on that journey. There’s something so fun and satisfying about layering the movements and watching it all come together — then helping students arrive in the pose with more understanding, confidence, and (hopefully!) a little more ease."
Currently, what style of yoga are you drawn to most? Why?
"I continue to be drawn to Vinyasa Yoga. I love a thoughtful, intentional flow that allows me to step out of my head and into my body. When the breath and movement connect seamlessly, there is nowhere else I would rather be than on my mat. There’s something wonderful to me about moving with purpose and letting the rest of the world quiet down for a while."
Top three favorite yoga poses...GO!
"Ardha Chandrasana, Janu Sirsasana, Malasana"
What is your favorite restaurant in Milwaukee?
"Our kitchen at home 💛"
If you could gain one superpower, what would you choose?
"Creating extra hours in my day. I'd appreciate some extra time to do all the things I enjoy — and still keep my solid 10PM bedtime."
Describe what a perfect day for you would look like.
"My perfect day starts slow — waking up to a fresh cup of Rishi China Breakfast tea and a pastry. Then a peaceful walk through the woods with my dog and husband, soaking in nature with sunshine filtering through the trees and that perfect 70-degree air.
After that, lunch on a patio with good food and music streaming in the background. No real plans for the rest of the day — just going with the flow and seeing where it takes us.
I’d end it with dinner and a glass of wine at home, windows open, the air still warm, and the kind of relaxed feeling that makes you wish the day wouldn’t end."
